Beaded Critters Read Free Books and Download eBooks
In the spirit of her playful and popular first book, Totally Beads, Sonal Bhatt presents children with a delightful collection of more than 20 beaded animals, fruits, sea creatures, and even people. Bright, colorful, and utterly appealing, they’re great for adorning clothing, decorating book bags, wearing as jewelry, giving as gifts, or just showing off. And best of all, each vibrantly illustrated and carefully explained project is fun to make and well within the ability of kids trying this craft for the first time. A thorough introduction presents all the basics, from stringing to knotting, right at the start. Youngsters age 7 and up (pre-teens too!) will love fashioning a ladybug, butterfly, bat, seahorse, mermaid, bunny, grapes, and much more.

I've made several of the critters and found the directions easy to follow and accurate. For younger children, using regular pony beads and waxed linen (increasing the length of the cord by at least 1 1/2 times)makes it easy for little fingers to master with just a bit of help. I plan to make more for Christmas ornaments next year.
Once again, Ms. Bhatt has made beading easy with her wonderful descriptions and diagrams. This time she allows the bead enthusiast to create charming land and sea creatures without the headache of deciphering complex directions. This is a beading book that will assist both adults and children who wish to take their beading to a new level.
11 year old daughter got this for x-mas. She sat down immediately and was able to make 3 different animals the 1st night. Directions are pretty easy to follow and keeps her busy. She loves the book. Got my wire, jump rings and container of beads from Mike's with coupons. She's never beaded before and her creations actually turn out like the photos in the book.
This book was very helpful, gave very good directions, I only wish that there would have been a progression to more complicated projects. Definitely a good starting off point to learn basic technique.
The Beaded Critters book is geared more for very beginners. It does have cute critters and is easy to follow. It does have ideas for those just stating out.
The book was awesome. It help create art projects for my classroom. I will be look forward to buying more books from the this company.
Great, clear instructions! Very simple, yet cute little critters. Even as a kid I was able to understand these instructions. As an adult, I'm still entertained by these little tutorials.
Very nice book, really cute designs and fun to make. Use different size beads and you get great results!! Great book for children to try out and keep them busy.
